“It was very awkward to do, you know, and I was just glad it was over with to be honest,” Kitsch told People about their sex scenes, adding, “And it’s such a big part of [my character] and who he is, and that’s how you meet him. So its a pretty intense reveal, no pun intended.”

Despite Lively being one of the hottest actresses, “Battleship” star Kitsch says he didn’t have enough time to get to know the “Gossip Girl” star to be able to relax in the sex scenes.

“A lot of sexual improv was going on there,” he said. “God knows we had two weeks of rehearsal …and then [we shot the sex scenes] on the day I think I knew Blake three days…four days maybe.”
